Anasazi State Park




In Boulder, Utah, there is a small State Park with a good display about the Anasazi or ancient pueblos who lived in the area in the 1150 - 1220 time span. It is unknown why they left, and it appears their buildings were burnt. ?Purposefully? The Navajo interpreter states that they were given "divine" direction to move on. The archeologists have found evidence of beautiful pottery, arrow heads, mortar and pestal so they suspect they grew corn, and trapped rabbits and deer.
